After reading Karl Fisch blog I am breathless. I find that any type of illiteracy is not acceptable regardless. So teachers fall into this category? No. The main reason why teachers should not be technologically illiterate is because for one you are suppose to help elevate your community, be a role model by example, and not be resistant to being a life long learner. I think this type of thinking is one of many reasons why we are in predicament of learning in the U.S. Which is creating a generation of children who is a unmotivated,disengaged, and hand me out learners. You have now present generation of college students that have problems with grammar, spelling, and writing taking English composition classes and can not spot a simple run on sentence.
Teachers can use technology to help students learn but not be completely dependent on it a resource of learning. As a teacher you could create a class blog to discuss topics related to class,give students access to assignment if missed,and create a community of learners. Today you have various forms of communication people are using to exchange ideas and share information with the use of technology.I will always try to learn different types of technologies because the world is moving with me in it regardless if I don't like but hopefully I will enjoy the ride.
